So I got a bit fed up waiting for my order to arrive (impatient much? ), fired up InkScape, and started drawing a bunch of track pieces in 1:1 scale.

Printed a bunch of them on thick paper (160 g/m2), cut them out with an X-acto knife and played around a bit to get a feel for the scale of things.

Here is the SVG file for anyone to use as you see fit. You can view (and print?) it from your browser. If you want to edit it you can use a program like Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape, so you can make multiple copies of the track pieces you're interested in and print them.

For some reason adding the sleepers to the bends now crashes Inkscape and I can't be bothered to add them by hand. The 30 and 90 degrees crossings aren't missing, but I don't think I've seen photo's of anyone actually using them? The 15 degree bends are missing as well, but that's just a matter of cutting the 30 degrees ones in half

Anyway, this way you can lay out a complete track without fiddling with an editor or spending loads of cash (hey, I'm Dutch, what else do you expect?)

Anyrail looks good but is Windows only I've tried the web based Trax editor, it also supports T, but I found it difficult to get a good feeling on the scale of things. (And making major changes to the layout was a bit annoying)

In the end, nothing beats holding "actual" pieces of track in your fingers
